DanielB said... This is pretty cool, and I was looking for some JavaScript practice, so I made a similar (read: clone) tool to run in a web browser.this... :) awesome. I may play around with this and try to tackle the visual aspect if you like. I have some ideas...
You can view the source at https://github.com/dbowring/wanikani-wallpaper-js - or view a "live" version at http://dbowring.github.com/wanikani-wallpaper-js/
Haven't properly tested yet (only basics in chrome), but it seems to work well. :)
The web version works great, as someone who does mostly web programming, I’ll give the code a look over with my trusty rubber duck just because.
Anyway, good job so far.
I am using Ubuntu and I also got the segmentation fault error.
Changing the path of ipag.ttf in grid.cpp worked for me:
“/usr/share/fonts/OTF/ipag.ttf” -> “/usr/share/fonts/opentype/ipafont-gothic/ipag.ttf” (I found it using “locate ipag.ttf” ).
Nice program!

Good man!
Hey, glad you guys like the web-version! 
If someone could style it to look pretty, that would be great - just submit a pull request on github (or PM me if you get stuck with git). Same with code fixes / optimizations.
Also, if someone with a decent amount done could send me their output SVG, I can put that as a sample in the README file. Thanks!

loving this, and the web version is great! thanks!
I showed this to my brother and he went and made a java version of it, you can find it
here: http://nyaabuilder.nfshost.com/wanikani/
code :http://nyaabuilder.nfshost.com/wanikani/wanikani.zip
so far i think it only displays the kanji from the available wanikani levels which is 1- 30 so far, and the default colours follow the wanikani colour scheme except for burned items which show up as a dark red, also it displays your level and gravitar down the bottom
preview:
That one’s really nice! Love the avatar/name/level at the bottom!
Quick note though, it will error out if you have locked items (line 38 assumes stats will be an object, but is null when the kanji is locked). An alternate solution is for me to do more study, so I don’t have locked kanji

How can I set this as my background so that it updates automatically as I level up my kanji? I’m sure there’s an easy way (or maybe it’s impossible? I have no idea), but I’m not quite as savvy as the rest of you guys seem to be, so I’m stuck. Any help?

If nobody comes up with something somewhat elegant by tomorrow I'll see what I can do.

I don’t know if it would be feasible, though I imagine it would be non-trivial regardless, but this would make a really cool live wallpaper for android. I would definitely pay for it.

Java is a whole different world.

Any help?btw, i am developing a Java one that will update your background automatically, i will launch a version this week (if i have enough time).
Also it will be integrated with my old Window Gadget version.
